menstrual cycle length luteal phase

It could be okay, it could be too short, indicating a luteal phase defect. I had a 25 day cycle and LPD. You may have needed more than progesterone, but there are things that could have been tried. But 15 years ago, I don't know what the knowledge was at that time regarding treatment.

The above is correct,doctors do prefer to see a luteal phase of at least 12 to substain a pregnancy,i was taking b6 as i had a low luteal phase it extended mine first month i took it.4 months after starting it im now pregnant,best of luck..

You can calculate the time of ovulation within your cycle by subtracting the length of your luteal phase from the length of your cycle. For example, if your cycle is 28 days long and your luteal phase is 12 days long, the ovulation will occur on day 16 of your cycle (28-12=16). The exact time of ovulation may vary within your cycle, because ovulation can be delayed by a number of factors such as stress, illness, diet, or increased physical activity.

The last day of your cycle is the day before your next menstrual period starts. The average cycle length is considered 28 days, but many women have longer or shorter cycles and it's fine. The average women ovulates approximately 14 days before the start of her period, but again, that is certainly not carved in stone. The time between your ovulation and period is referred to as a luteal phase. Hope that helps.

So it is not necessarily the change in cycle length (or a change in the luteal phase) that is the cause of a miscarriage, but rather the fact egg quality continues to decline with age. Medication will not get your ovulation on track, but you may benefit from assisted reproduction with or without a donor egg if ovarian reserve (that is to say egg age) is a major concern. Best regards, Dr.

Here is from another site: "The process typically takes about two weeks, with 14 days considered normal. The follicular phase often varies in length from cycle to cycle; by contrast, the length of the luteal phase will be fairly consistent from cycle to cycle." A doctor who wrote one of the health pages for MedHelp here wrote that the luteal cycle is always 14 days; the quote above says "about" 14 days.

s lack of production of progesterone, the hormone that helps build the lining during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Usually a doctor will prescribe a progesterone supplementation. If you notice that your luteal phase is short (less than 10 days; over 12 days is ideal for luteal phases), then the doctor may also prescribe Clomid to help regulate a longer cycle. Charting your BBTs for several months will help you determine ovulation and the length of your luteal phase.

I am in my second cycle on clomid 100mg from day 2-6. Pre clomid, my cycle was always about 35 days and I'd O on day 21. In my first clomid cycle, I O'd on day 15 and had a 17 day luteal phase. This cycle I O'd on day 14. Waiting to see how long the luteal phase will be.

progesterone phase/luteal phase this is the what we all call the 2 weeks waiting (2ww) cause on day 28 (for most women) you get your period again and start your cycle again, or you test and find out you are pregnant.

I took b6 for 2 cycles and from the 2nd cycle of b6, cycle length increased to 31 days which is good. I have 31 days cycle from past 3 months now. Taking clomid from 2 months. But even then i ovulate slightly late. 10 days after the last pill. I thought if I had 14 days luteal phase that would be very ideal and so i wanted to take clomid earlier. But since it might alter the cycles i wont do so now. Thanks for clarifying.

The reason this works, no matter how long your cycle is, is because the 2 weeks leading up to your period is called your luteal phase and almost all women have approximately the same length phase - 14 days, and the luteal phase is started by your ovulation. For women who have a shorter than 28-day cycle, they will ovulate earlier in the cycle (possibly closer to cycle day 10, 11, or 12) and some women ovulate later, if they have a longer monthly cycle. So the question is...

I had taken b6 earlier which increased my cycle length from 26-27 days to 31 days. infact my luteal phase earlier was very short like 10days b6 increased it to 12-13 days. may b i will have to take it this month too. thanks heather i will take it from today itself am on cd1.

SO, I am a little confused about something. To my understanding your O day can vary but typically your luteal phase will be the same hense the outcome of different cycle lengths. However, last several months my cycle has been about 33 days long and it was usually about 31days but when I started clomid it was 33 days. So I started doing bbt and tracking my cycle and last cycle on clomid was 33 days O'd on CD 16 and Luteal Phase was 17 days. So my dr.

I can't figure out when is my luteal phase.. Here are my cycle days from the past few months, 28,29,30 and 27(january)...Please help..

The tww is not always 14 days. It's different for every women just like the cycle length and ovulation day is different for everyone. The "average women" has a 28 day cycle, with ovulation being right in the middle on CD 14. So that's why they call it the tww. It's also refered to as your luteal phase. And generally, your tww/luteal phase will always be the same number of days. For example, my tww is really only 11 or 12 days.

MOst people with longer cycles it is thier folicular phase which is longer not the luteal phase which pretty much stays the same unless there is something wrong. I have 26 day cycles and O on day 15-16 and I am ok dr says. If you temp and see an implantation dip or a second rise then you could be pregnant! Temping is a wonderful thing!

Clomiphene is used to treat absent or irregular menstrual cycles .It is used in induction of ovulation and in luteal phase defects. In few women the menstrual cycle is lengthened by Clomid. This is only a temporary effect till you are on the medication. Clomid cycles on the average are a few days longer than the average menstrual cycle length in the same woman without Clomid.Stress, eating disorders, ovulation dysfunction are other causes of delayed periods.

The time between ovulation and your next period is called the luteal phase. If your luteal phase is under 10 days you won't be able to conceive. There are things you can take to help lengthen your luteal phase in order to conceive.

Amy said it perfect! I also want to add that one way to help you determine when you ovulate, if you're regular, is to deduct 14 from your cycle length. So if your cycle lasts 30 days you should ovulate around CD16, give or take a couple days. And another thing to note is that your period does not determine when you ovulate. Your ovulation determines your next period--- thus the luteal phase! You will always have a period, unless pregnant, within 12-16 days of ovulating. Hope that helps!

Hi your luteal phase is effected by ovulation,some women ovulate later due to stress etc..or even earliar.hence the different luteal phase.i occasionally had 16 day luteal phases..mine before i concieved this cycle has been 12 days long.so luteal phases are always the same give or take 1 to 2 days,since sperm can survive up to 5 days this isnt a big deal and unlikely to stop conception,do you chart,or use ovulation tests,if your cycles vary it would be helpful.

Its asking for my luteal phase and my menstrual cycle length.. My last period was kinda off by a lot! Okay, June 11th thru 16th was the last period.. and the one before that was April 16th thru 22nd. May is the first cycle I've skipped in years! Is there anyone that can help me with trying to chart this please?! I am on mymonthlycycle.com and idk what numbers to put in.

Hi, this is my 3rd cycle using clomid and using OPK to test for my LH surge. I use the digital tests that give the "smile" result for a positive LH surge. My first two cycles, I got the positive OPK on cycle day 11 or 12. This time, it came on cycle day 15! I'd almost stopped testing, I thought I had missed my surge because I was already having cramping and cm. Since my +OPK was last night, I am scheduled to have an IUI today.

(Cycle day 1 is the first day of the menstrual period). I would then do an ultrasound on cycle day 11 or 12 to look for a developing follicle. On day 21 I would check a progesterone level to see if you did indeed ovulate and if your luteal phase was sufficient ( a good progesterone level suggests that it is.) Ovulation predictors can be very confusing, and I think that the BBTs are not a bad idea in your case.

You O based on the length of the luteal phase after O so if you luteal phase is 14 days. Then count backwards from your cycle length average and that will give you O. I hope that this makes sense.

My menstrual cycle is always 30 days in length, luteal phase 15 days in length. I had intercourse on May 12, 2013 and May 15,2 013. Took a first response (pink dye) +/-Yesterday 05/20/2013 and got a very faint pink positive. Took 2 first response today and I got another faint positive just a little darker. Is this just an evap line or could I be pregnant?

I am wondering if he automatically assumed that my problem was the short luteal phase. I have read that a short luteal phase could prevent implantation and that I very well may have conceived before but it could have passed through my cycles. I guess I am just wondering if the clomid will help me if a short luteal phase is my problem? Does anyone have any feedback? Please help!!

For over a year now, I have had a cramping sensation (near the left ovary, sometimes lower back too). It always occurs during the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle and only on the left side of my pelvic region. I did see an OBGYN who thought it may be an intestinal pain related to a hormone released in the luteal phase. Essentially, a PMS symptom. No ultrasound, but there was a physical exam, after which it was determined I did not have a cyst.
